New articles after tonight's lecture - biofuel
On the way to the lecture, I was listening to BBC Radio 2's Business News (Martin Shankleman)and heard the article based on George Bush's State of the Union address. He, George, has stated that the US is addicted to the dependenance on Middle Eastern Oil, so is now looking to exploit the ethanol market.
"By applying the talent and technology of America, this country can dramatically improve our environment, move beyond a petroleum-based economy, and make our dependence on Middle Eastern oil a thing of the past," Mr Bush declared in his state of the union address to Congress early today... taken from quoted from this Guardian article
Ethanol can be made from corn (USA), sugar cane (Brazil) and sawdust (Sweden).
This BBC article explains more with reference to the ethanol market and the success in the southwest. Even SAAB cars are releasing the Saab Biopower car and more information can be found at this blog
Even Richard Branson is getting in on the act.
Want to make your own electricity, have a look at this
However, before jumping on the band wagon, have a look at this Climate change experts claim that far from being environmentally friendly, the new fuels in fact pose a threat and this other article (you try and save the environment and get taxed by the Government)
Any comments, go on I dare you!
